Derek, I no longer settle for 'its company policy' with insurance people.
I ask to speak to the person who set the policy.
If it then proves impossible for anyone to actually explain the company's stand point I offer to take the matter before an ombudsman.

If you would like to involve them you can find the info you need at http://www.financevictims.co.uk/ombudsmen/insurance-ombudsman/

Remember folks...........
Dont be a victim, be pro-active. In the long run everyone will benefit !


I threatened Honda insurance with the Ombudsman, over the issue of them misquoting me by ?200, I was informed that legally Honda had done nothing wrong, as a quote is not legally binding, however luckily I was dealing with a salesman with a conscience who let me have the insurance at the price first quoted.
I have contacted the insurance ombudsman in the past over the issue of bike/car insurance not being compatible, and their answer was "Well neither is your household insurance" my reply to them was that if I have an accident in my car or on my bike it does not affect my household premium, 5 years later and I have still not had a reply to that one

UPDATE :- Called into local Laxtons insurance office, explained the history as above, took my details then a lot about where the bike is kept at home and how secure etc,etc. Quoted ?320 Fully Comp, with full business use and guaranteed protected NCB...............phoned Honda to see if they could better it, "Would you like us to send you your proof of no claims at renewal time sir". "Yes that'll be fine thanks".Never tried to beat it. Laxtons have quoted me happy. :k Although I hate them all with a vengeance! :bandit:
